DJ Vlad recently went viral for his tweet expressing surprise over Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. Vlad argued that since most NFL viewers speak English, the NFL seemed to be prioritizing expanding Latino audiences over existing fans. DJ Akademiks pushed back, calling Bad Bunny a global “GOAT” and a top artist in the U.S., highlighting how language barriers haven’t stopped other successful non-English artists like Burna Boy from gaining massive popularity stateside. Akademiks emphasized the significant Hispanic population in the U.S. and defended Bad Bunny’s cultural impact, stressing the music’s universal appeal beyond lyrics. Vlad acknowledged the melody’s vibe but maintained that understanding lyrics is essential to fully connect with music. The debate highlighted tensions around cultural representation, language, and audience expectations for major American events like the Super Bowl.
